The bracket was replaced with the same bracket to those that bented them during installation. What SPC changed what the lock nut washer that was twisting the bracket while tightening causing the bracket to bend. When they installed mine they realized they needed to be very careful and when they went to attach the sensor they didn't fully torque it down but just enough as to be secure.
Although, I don't have any sensor problems I do have issues with my arms hitting and I know SPC is looking into this problem. I'm hopeful they can find a fix for this problem as there are a number of us who have this issue.
Peter at IAP has been very helpful during this process and I commend him for doing whatever he can to make it right.

What a disappointment this kit has been. I installed my new ABS sensor brackets over the weekend and the light is still on. In fact, the grinding noise from the brakes is worse. Not to mention that my car has to have a horrible ride now due to the fact that the shocks are set really firm to cut down on the knocking. The only thing that prevents me from returning to stock is the amount of money it will have cost me to put the kit on and then remove it.
I wish I had never purchased this kit and do not recommend it to anyone.

^^ I'm only dropped 1" and I hit. SPC and my installer have talked about this clearance issue. I have plans to take my car in either by the end of this week (my car is in the shop getting a new bumper) or the first of next week and see if my installer can fix the problem that SPC seems to think might be causing the problem.
I'll keep you guys posted on what happens.

If you don't have any clearance for your wheels to be pushed out a bit and 1 degree of positive camber would get you where you want to be then I wouldn't install the spacers.
Hope this helps and good luck.
FYI the spacers are installed behind the wheel hub.
